Concussion is classed by ACC as a mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI). Concussion is commonly referred to as a head injury with brief loss of brain function and can also cause physical, cognitive and emotional symptoms.
Concussion can happen on the sports field, following a car accident, from a fall, or a number of other causes. Regardless of the way you got your concussion, we can help get you back on track. Our team here at Focused understand how debilitating a concussion can be and can help to get you back to being yourself. Rehab for concussion tends to need a holistic approach, understanding the patient with their needs and wants, and incorporating appropriate treatments, including vestibular and musculoskeletal rehabilitation paths.
We know that it can be a long rehab journey, but it is one that is so important for individuals with concussion. Our concussion assessments involve;
Vestibular and oculomotor assessment
Musculoskeletal assessment
Use of appropriate and evidence based concussion outcome measures
From this we can create an individualised plan to appropriately treat concussion. Each concussion is different and we make our plan to suit you. We work closely with other healthcare professions to help deliver the best rehab for you.
